Heading into 2023, Alabama's strength was supposed to be in its offensive and defensive lines.
For the second week in a row, the interior of the Tide’s offensive line faltered — pressure and low snaps — and against the Longhorns , the defensive front didn’t generate enough pressure on quarterback Ewers.
Saban said Texas and play-caller Steve Sarkisian were able to move the pocket for Ewers or use delayed releases and rub routes to move the chains. Alabama was caught substituting or losing its alignment on some big plays, but Ewers still had a comfortable amount of time on his six passes of at least 30 yards.“Uh, I guess call more blitzes. I don’t know,” Moore said.
Alabama knew it had a challenge with linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. leading an experienced defense. But Texas didn’t need extra rushers to pressure Milroe out of the pocket. Grad student Darrian Dalcourt at right guard and freshman Kadyn Proctor at left tackle was offering little resistance at times. “Those kinds of things put you behind the 8-ball on offense,” Saban said of the penalties and low snaps.
